Anita Bryant Passes

Was she an active MAGA-oid?

That’s not much of a change (on her position). Unfortunate and sad, but, oh well.

And I wouldn’t doubt that she was MAGA.

My town in SoCal has many Asian immigrants, and it is not uncommon to see women driving their cars wearing these full-face sun shields (we refer to them as welding masks).

Sez the white guy with a loyalty card for the Mohs surgeon…

From the thread title, I was thinking you found something in your attic, as in, “I found backstage passes to an Anita Bryant concert”.

Not that I’m a celebrity follower but if you had asked me before seeing this thread, I would have guessed her for long dead.

I remember this from the 70’s
Roses are red.
Battleships are gray.
If Anita Bryant is happy,
Does she say she’s gay?

Not publicly, as far as I can tell. It sounds like she hadn’t been particularly visible in the public spotlight since around 2000 (which is about when the last of her several concert venues closed).

Given that she was a life-long conservative Christian, it would not particualrly surprise me if she supported Trump, but I’m not easily finding any evidence that she publicly endorsed him, made any appearances for him, etc.

One of my coworkers repeated her claims about gay people only five years ago and I naturally jumped in with an argument. Her blurtings were astounding and completely startling. ‘Wait, what’d you say?!’

“In China, a Long Tradition of Dodging the Sun”

This is an Asian custom, but it may not be an issue of female beauty standards.

I live in the almost perpetual sunshine of the Middle East. Many of the agricultural workers here are migrants from Thailand, almost all male. They all wear woolen, balaclava-style ski masks covering their entire face, despite working (and sweating!) in 100-degree heat.

Apparently, in Thailand there is a very deep social stigma against having darkened skin, because it marks you as lower class.

(note to mods–yes, this is off-topic for an Anita Bryant thread. But this is MPSIMS, so is it okay?).

Remember, a day without orange juices is a day without sunshine. So … night?

Anyone else recall the jokes they made at her expense in National Lampoon’s Disco Beaver from Outer Space?

“Ding-dong, the b*tch is dead!”
(you knew somebody was gonna say it!)

One of the funnier euphemisms I’ve ever heard is:

She put the b in witch.

Will she have paper roses in her little corner of the world?
